    gates hoses 00-09 toyota
    swaybar kit 72-79 nissan

    Need to change them to

    Column A

    @Royy, first up, I'm afraid "home" is not a very helpful locale.

    Regional settings can/do have a significant effect on syntax & solutions (esp. when it comes to handling Dates).

    For your own benefit I would suggest you modify your profile as appropriate.

    A Find/Replace won't work here but you might try using adjacent cells to generate revised strings, eg:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    where A1 holds original - copy down

    if needed copy & paste special (values only) the results in B over the originals in A.
